I always backup first my photos in raw manner, right
downloaded from the camera.

then I do a copy and edit them with digikam

here I sort them by date (albums) and index them (labels) -
these files I can act on the date if necessary. and it is
necessary because I add some "panels" (backpaper with text)
as a legend for galleries and theses files are not dated
like the photos - same problem with scanned argentic ones.

I have only yet a problem with the html plugin, wich do use
the raw writing order of the files in they folder to sort!
last written last indexed in the html index page :-(

I have a solution, but quite unpleasant: with konqueror cut
the albums/folder to an other folder (~/tmp ?) and back on
the digikam tree. like this all the files are written
(hopefully!) in the right order - you lose the album
preview, but it's quite easy to set
